Translation:
The praisers praise the lord,
But they do not obtain the intuitive understanding.
They are like the streams and rivers,
Flowing into the Ocean, they do not know it's vastness.
Eveen kings and emperors, with mountains of property,
And oceans of wealth;
These are not even equal to an ant,
Who does not forget god.
More Information:The twenty-third pauree dispels darkness and elevates the self.
